A global network of lawmakers called the Climate Parliament seeks to educate and inspire Congressmen and Members of Parliament to address the climate Read moreissue. We pay special attention to the few Members of Parliament who are prepared to take the lead on this subject in their legislatures. Our research focuses on energy access, large-scale renewable energy, green grids, sustainable transportation, and climate ambition. We host virtual and in-person international roundtable talks for parliamentarians discussing all facets of the climate agenda. Prominent specialists provide the lawmakers with a briefing, and suggestions for parliamentary action are deliberated. After learning about the accomplishments and goals of other nations, MPs try to persuade their governments to act more quickly.
